The Central Valley Model Works #19088 kit delivers unparalleled prototype fidelity to your HO scale model railroad bridge projects. This highly specialized package features realistic 14-foot long open-deck bridge ties designed to drop smoothly into heavy steel structures. Molded from premium structural styrene, the tie strips showcase highly realistic wood grain textures, surface checking, and rugged timber edge profiles. The system features integrated, self-gauging tie plates engineered to securely fit fine-scale Code 83 and Code 70 running rails. To guarantee absolute prototypical accuracy, the kit includes sixteen scale 25-foot structural stringer supports that mount beneath the track. The molded tie strips are also equipped with precision-placed locator slots for adding inner metal guard rails to prevent layout accidents. Every pack contains eight interlocking tie segments that perfectly build out a massive 200-foot prototype mainline span. These pieces are explicitly designed to align with the interior floor web of the CVMW #1900 Parker Truss bridge. Before gluing the parts down with liquid plastic cement, wash them thoroughly in warm soapy water to ensure optimal paint adhesion. This unpainted detail kit easily accepts standard gray plastic primers, dirty oil washes, and dark earth track grimes for a weathered finish.
